Using rubber stamps can make economical scrapbook page borders easy! 

When you use a stamp over and over, you realize that they are an economical alternative to stickers. Plus, you control the colors. This design is perfect for telling a story with multiple pages.

BORDER: Ink stamp by pressing image into a multi-colored (rainbow) stamp pad, making sure that several colors are represented on the stamp. 

• Tip: You don't want to mix light colors into your darker colors-light into dark does show much--so line up the image and the colors the same way each time you ink the stamp, or clean the stamp between inkings. Print the image and overlap leaves. Trim around right or left side of the leaves.

PAGE TITLE: Outline letters in ink and color in with chalk. Hand write and hand print rest of title.

JOURNALING BLOCK: Print out from computer and mat

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: Mat all other photos and attach all pieces to the page.

PRODUCTS: Solid paper source unknown, stamp by Stampin' Up, marker by Zig, chalks by Craf-T- Products.
